RADEK ROUŠAL VS. JONAS MÅGÅRD

The heated main event of the Brno evening knows its winner. Local brawler Radek Roušal started with a series of calf kicks. However, Jonas Mågård had a crystal-clear strategy from the opening seconds and quickly dove in for a takedown. Although the Czech striker managed to battle back to his feet several times from difficult positions, the Danish phenomenon demonstrated immense strength on the ground and comfortably controlled the first two rounds thanks to clear dominance.

Immediately following his triumph, he confidently called for a title shot right inside the cage, sending a clear message straight to the top of the division.

ANDREJ KALAŠNIK VS. KENNEDY RAYOMBA

The return of the local favorite turned into a massive surprise, delivered by the biggest betting underdog on the entire card. In the beginning, Andrej Kalašnik pushed relentlessly for takedowns, which Kennedy Rayomba defended brilliantly for a long time, while both fighters exchanged several heavy blows inside the cage. It was only in the final minute of the first five-minute period that the Czech fighter got his opponent under him and secured the first round. However, the German warrior entered the second round with razor-sharp striking. Kalašnik countered, but his subsequent takedown attempts failed. Rayomba took the initiative, took the fight to the mat, and dictated the pace from a dominant position. Even in an exhausting third round, the German brawler controlled the action both standing and against the fence. Following a fantastic tactical performance, he celebrates a well-deserved decision victory, taking home the most valuable scalp of his career to date.

The anticipated clash under special Stand and Bang rules delivered exactly what it promised. Both fighters charged into the fight at a thrilling pace, and a wild standing brawl immediately took over the cage. In the opening round, Slovak striker Radovan Úškrt showed slightly superior precision, securing the round on two judges' scorecards. However, the second round saw an unexpected moment when Úškrt unleashed an illegal spinning strike, resulting in an immediate point deduction. But the judges weren't needed for the final decision after all. Hála stepped on the gas, targeted his attacks on his opponent's midsection, and launched pure destruction. With devastating body shots, he sent his shaken opponent to the canvas three times, with the third standing count signifying the definitive end according to the rules. Hála thus emerges from this tough battle with a fantastic TKO victory.

However, local warrior Daniel Ligocki displayed greater accuracy in the opening round and safely secured the first round. The Brno representative entered the second five-minute frame in better form as well, continuing to land precise strikes. Polish brawler Brajan Przysiwek showed immense durability, but halfway through the round, Ligocki pressed the accelerator and set a devastating pace. He began landing one clean combination after another until a knee sent his dazed opponent to the mat. Daniel Ligocki celebrates a grand KO victory in front of his home crowd, confidently returning to winning ways.

The light heavyweight battle started better for the home representative. Vojtěch Garba secured a quick takedown and controlled his opponent from top position on the mat for most of the opening round. Only in the final seconds of the first round was Robert Lau able to break free and press the Czech fighter against the fence, but "The Silesian Knight" still comfortably took the first five-minute frame. However, the German debutant entered the second round with a crystal-clear goal and soon shocked the entire Brno arena.

JAKUB DOHNAL VS. VOJTO BARBORÍK

The anticipated clash of two elite grapplers, both in desperate need of a return to the win column, started with a surprising striking battle on the feet. Instead of ground fighting, the crowd witnessed an attractive boxing exchange where legendary Vojto Barborík threatened with a heavy straight right, while Jakub Dohnal landed a dangerous spinning elbow near the end. Following a close round, the Czech warrior took the opening frame on the judges' scorecards. Right at the start of the second five-minute round, however, came an absolute shock that brought the entire Brno arena to its feet. Dohnal unleashed a devastating spinning head kick that landed cleanly and sent his Slovak opponent to the canvas. The expected grappling war never materialised, and Jakub Dohnal celebrates a phenomenal KO victory after this brilliant moment.

TOMÁŠ CIGÁNIK VS. BERKAN BADUR

Now this was a battle! The anticipated clash of rising talents started intensely, with Berkan Badur landing a quick takedown in the opening seconds. Although the undefeated German fighter initially dominated on the ground, Tomáš Cigánik fought back to his feet after two minutes and ignited a wild standing brawl. Despite heavy blows flying from both sides, Badur secured the opening round thanks to another successful takedown near the end. A similar scenario unfolded in the second five-minute round, as the Slovak warrior broke free from an uncomfortable position and heavily punished his opponent with precise strikes. The final round was entered under extremely tense conditions, further impacted by a key moment: Badur struck his grounded opponent with an illegal knee to the head, causing a deep cut and receiving an immediate two-point deduction from the referee.

ROBIN FOŠUM VS. DUSTIN RABIEGA

Robin Fošum could not have celebrated his return to the cage after three and a half long years any more grandly! The anticipated clash offered a wild war right from the first second, with both fighters hunting for a finish. In the opening round, German debutant Dustin Rabiega delivered a great performance, looking significantly faster on his feet, displaying greater striking precision, and rightfully taking the first round. However, the local brawler charged into the second round with immense determination and began dictating the pace. Fošum bided his time and then unleashed a crushing combination finished off with a clean hook to the chin. The shaken Rabiega crashed helplessly to the canvas immediately, and the battle was over. Robin Fošum thus celebrates his comeback with a phenomenal knockout victory.

In the second five-minute frame, the Brno fighter managed to close the distance, took the fight to the ground, and held a dominant position. Although the British showman survived an uncomfortable choke attempt late in the second round, he simply lacked the energy for a comeback. Bruknar expertly controlled the final round, celebrating his first victory in yellow and black in front of his home crowd after a dominant performance.

NIAMH KINEHAN VS. ALANA COOK

The fight started exactly as expected. Alana Cook almost immediately attempted a takedown and pushed her opponent against the fence, where most of the opening round took place. However, the undefeated British striker showed precise defense, weathered the dangerous situation, and refused to go down. She gradually began landing hard strikes of her own, comfortably securing the first round. Right at the start of the second five-minute round, Niamh Kinehan fully unleashed her game, landing several precise kicks and punches. After one minute, she landed a devastating left hook that sent the Canadian fighter crashing hard to the mat. Kinehan dominates in yet another appearance, securing an extraordinarily valuable KO victory.

Dávid Dániel Komár started actively, immediately targeting his opponent's leg with precise calf kicks. However, Turkish warrior Ali Gündüz countered cleverly. In the final seconds of the round, Komár attempted an unsuccessful takedown during which he took a series of hard knees to the head, yet still secured the opening round on two judges' scorecards. The Hungarian talent maintained a high pace into the second round, continuing his pressure and combinations on the feet. However, it was Gündüz who managed to tilt the scorecards in his favor with effective strikes, evening out the match. Both fighters entered the final round under extremely tense conditions.
